The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts

2020 is only 40 days old and here I am again recollecting all the new year spirit that had crushed to pieces in order to make life on course again. Not easy, I must say, especially when Copenhagen’s wind blowing in its full speed this week. I might have lost some pieces in the famous Copenhagen’s Four Lakes on my way biking home.

Room-ing in Copenhagen

Exactly a week ago, I moved into this new room which I hope to call home for many many years to come. Or until someone asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. *cough *hint *wink

Joke aside, I have to expose how expensive this place is for me that the following meme is so true that it hurts to laugh.

Constantly revise your conclusions.

It was my iphone-me-time when I encountered masterclass commercial on youtube. This time, it was not Gordon Ramsay. She was actually a rather old and peculiar woman, offering online class on being a writer. And she took my attention greatly. She said, if I thought I was a writer, maybe I am. Interesting.

One video leads to another, I ended up listening to Malcolm Gladwell’s top ten rules for success. He is, of course, my favourite writer, need to be noted. While, I ended up on number 4, I managed to turn on my laptop and start writing this blogpost.

Malcolm Gladwell’s top ten rules for success. They include:

1. Have the courage to pursue your idea.
2. Try a new approach.
3. Believe in meaningful work.
4. Constantly revise your conclusions.
5. Distinguish yourself from others.
6. Practice.
7. Explore.
8. Be patient.
9. Understand the rules of business.
10. Outwork others.

Be Brave

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one … Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

— C. S. Lewis

The Valentine’s Week

This is it. This is the week most people have mixed feeling about. The Valentine’s week.

I thought being with someone would solve it all. I thought I will be so peaceful and spend this week with my own version happilly-ever-after. Oh I could have not be more wrong then ever.

Oh the pressure…

Broken crayons

A broken man whom I have with me right now color my life with the most beautiful color combination that I could have never thought of! I hope he realises how beautiful life with him is.

Follow your heart

Let’s do February right.
